Announced! Cover image is a mockup.
Awesome! Congrats Ogre!
It comes out today? Oh no! Maybe that really is the real cover!

Looking very good so far: Investigation, roleplay, complications, link to an unusual piece of setting background.
A couple of possible tactics/spell errors I spotted on first skim:
Was there a miscalculation or resize of the, erm, maguffin?
This is a city based encounter and I don’t think you can

With regards to shrink item, I suppose there is a question of whether an items volume includes the empty space inside of it, or just the item itself. My assumption was that so long as the contents of the container, plus the physical container were less than the total volume you are fine. If this bothers you then perhaps a smaller keg might make sense or increase the caster level of the scroll.
You can either assume a small amount of grass and plants is growing in this relatively un-trafficked alley or just use an alternate spell, the two of them have a fairly decent mix of spells to pull from.

Thanks for clarifying use as intended.
It may trigger player mutterings using Shrink and Entangle in that way. I wouldn't normally rule that either of those spells worked like that.
Entangle applies to the last encounter too. Though there may be a market stall or two that provides the greenery for a fun application of it.
Nice job, Ogre!

If you are GMing:
Perhaps, have Barnell tell the PCs he gets all his clients from his contact.
Wow... I just want to catch up and pass on a big thanks for all the positive reviews.
I'm really glad this scenario seems to have gone over so well, I enjoyed writing it a lot.
Big thumbs up Dennis. I'm really happy to see this go so well. I'm sure this is just the beginning. Congrats again! :D

I am GM'ing this at Gencon on Saturday, so I whipped up a visual cheatsheet for myself on all the acts, characters, clues, and information.
It can be found here (Flickr link). I probably missed/messed something (this is a meaty scenario). Cheers!

Gencon session last night was a blast - party really loved this scenario. There were four dwarves at the table, and at one point in the scenario the game turned into a spontaneous pub crawl. When they encountered the Maguffin
the game temporarily turned into a giant drinking party. Good fun.

I just played this today. It was a lot of fun with the variety of challenges and character driven plot.
I have only played the scenario, I have not read it yet. I do have one big question/point of clarification.
In the final combat the setting was the market place. The BBEG is 20 feet up in a crow’s nest. The GM said the scenario specifically states that the BBEG has a clear line of sight to "every square in the marketplace". Huh? Why? It’s a busy market. There are carts and small shops all over the place. Why can’t a player duck behind an Orange Stand to gain Total Cover? This seems perfectly logical and a really fun way to use the artful terrain provided. Otherwise just have it in an open courtyard. Having no cover is frankly murder on level 1 characters. It makes no sense to me. Please clarify the intent of that phrase in the scenario and how it’s supposed to work.

I did double check this and I made a mistake when I said that. The words said: Nearly everywhere in the market. So I gave cover to people with no clear line of sight during the combat. It was early on in the original initiative order as well. (1rst round) So it was corrected and I blamed myself for not reading it correctly :)
Sorry
